Yesham is the largest continent in the world. Directly south of Carthe over Draesta's Spine, the mountains are considered impassible, and the two continents may as well be half a world apart. Yesham borders Vaestia and Romathia to the west, and Greszynmyre to the northeast. Yesham is the birthplace of the religions Verast, Maiism, and the Cinnabar Road, as well as being called home by the Postdeists.

Greszynmyre borders Carthe to its west and Yesham to its southwest. It is dominated by the Albernecht Empire, which also rules most or all of the known continents across the oceans to its east.

The original homeland of the Yvethi is said to be south of Fjorfall, although explorers have not found land there. This seems to support the original Yvethi's claims that their homeland was destroyed.
